Zhang Jing had eaten wine and then left the palace.

At this time, the sky was already gloomy.

It was getting darker and darker. When he was in the palace, he looked drunk. It was strange that he became energetic as soon as he left the palace.

The true meaning of drinking lies in performance. Performance is an art. As long as you have the skills of an old actor and go through many restaurants, you can be invincible.

On the contrary, honest people like Emperor Aoki are not good. They often pretend to be a dumb at the beginning and pretend to be dead in the second half.

There was a team of guards waiting outside, and Zhang Jing and his men immediately set off to the Northern Town Fushi.

The atmosphere in the North Town Fushi Department has changed drastically, and everyone performs their duties. As soon as they see Zhang Jing, the civil servant and the military officer who is on duty immediately want to come and pay their respects.

Zhang Jing waved his hand, and at this moment he felt joyful. Thinking of the great changes that rye's success would bring to the world, he felt more accomplished than ever.

So he sat down in the hall and immediately summoned the assistant Liu Yiqi.

Liu Yiqi came soon, stepped forward respectfully, saluted and said, "Governor... are you drunk?"

Zhang Jingyi said: "Don't talk about these gossips for now, I'll just ask you..."

As he said that, Zhang Jing asked someone to spread the map of the capital, then followed the direction depicted by Zhu Youjian, and said, "Which home is there?"

Liu Yiqi came forward obediently. He had been in the capital for decades and was indeed very experienced. As soon as he saw it, he immediately said, "Here? There are several residences here, one is the residence of the Marquis of Fengcheng...Li Chengzuo, but... this is his old residence... The man has moved to the new residence long ago, and the house here has long been abandoned."

After a pause, he said, "There is another place, which is the right censor Zhao..."

Before Liu Yiqi could continue to say it, Zhang Jingyi shook her head and said, "I only say the surname Li."

"Then this is the residence of Li Guo, the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet today."

"Li Guo?" Zhang Jing narrowed his eyes and stared at the mansion with a ray of light in his eyes. He continued, "This mansion is quite large!"

Liu Yiqi said: "He was poor at the beginning. In his early years, his family was barely silly. After entering the court as an official, he was also honest. Therefore, during the Wanli period, the former emperor saw that he was honest, so he gave him a mansion..."

"Oh." Zhang Jing nodded: "Is he very honest?"

Liu Yiqi said: "This is the truth. In the cabinet, it may be this Mr. Li. I heard that even the sedan chair owner was made by distant relatives. If he hired others, the price was too high, he could not afford such a grand grandson. He also had his sedan chair, which was not as good as the sedan chair of a ninth-rank official. There was almost nothing valuable in his mansion, but there were many calligraphy and paintings, but they were given to each other by friends in the officialdom, which was not unusual."

Zhang Jing frowned, feeling a little incredible, so he said, "Where is the Jinyiwei here, haven't you checked it?"

Liu Yiqi smiled bitterly and said, "Factory Guard, Factory Guard, isn't this Factory Guard a hawk? Who is your Majesty going to investigate? Let's check again. If you don't give instructions, go and check it yourself, it's a big deal. What if you really find something out?"

Zhang Jingyi: “…”

Zhang Jing looked straight: "What's this? The reputation of the factory guards is so bad. This is why they eat all day long. What do you do? We will detect all the officials, and we should look like we are investigating."

Liu Yiqi was startled and said quickly: "Yes, yes, it's so shameless. However, even if you really check it, Mr. Li's official voice has always been very good, and he looks really honest and impeccable. If you want to check it, you have to check it out of the bad official voice."

Zhang Jing said, "Check him first, remember, don't alert the snake. This is either a revenge, or I want to know what my greatest honest minister in the Ming Dynasty looks like."

As he said that, Zhang Jingyi looked at Liu Yiqi sinisterly: "You won't have any collusion with others, and you will miss any news then?"

Liu Yiqi was shocked. Now he was obeyed by Zhang Jingyizhi. Although it was not his turn to enter the military academy and he had to wait for the third training class before going there, how could he dare to have any minor thoughts at this time?

So he knelt down and said, "Governor clearly, even if he dares to deceive his own father, he will not dare to deceive the governor."

Zhang Jingyi doesn't like his style.

But at the moment, there are indeed not many assistants around him, but unfortunately his second brother Deng Jian... has not come back yet.

So Zhang Jingyi said, "It's good. I'm a man who listens to his words and actions. If I am really loyal, you and I will naturally be a family. How I, Zhang Jingyi, treat my brothers, can go and inquire. But if I dare to have other thoughts, I will not be a family member."

“Yes, yes.”

Since he had given the serious instructions, Zhang Jingyi was a little tired at this time, so he yawned and said, "Okay, go and do it."

After saying that, he went to the courtyard for a nap.

…………

After the deposit, Li Guo returned home.

In the cabinet, Huang Liji and a few of them were very happy because of the rye from Liaodong. Even Liu Hongxun praised Zhang Jingyi and made great achievements for all ages.

But Li Guo still felt a little uncomfortable.

But no matter whether it was tasted or not, he soon began to be happy again.

When he returned to the mansion, the doorman said, "Master, please see Jingshi Liu."

The Censor Liu is named Liu Chen. This person is a disciple of Li Guo and usually likes to come to Li Guo's mansion to walk around.

As for Li Guo, he also admired this person quite well, so he was considered his confidant.

Li Guo nodded to the concierge and said, "See you in the small hall."

After a while, Li Guo sat upright in the small hall first, and then sipped in a sip of tea.

Then Liu Chen arrived. Liu Chen bowed deeply to Li Guo and said, "Students have seen Enfu."

Li Guo smiled and said, "Okay, okay, don't be too polite, Ziyi, just sit down and talk."

This small hall is very simple and has almost no unnecessary decoration. Even the tables and chairs are mostly for many years, and the paint on the top is mottled.

At this time, Liu Chen bowed down and said with some concern: "Today... the student in the court... After seeing that King Xin offered rye... he was quite worried, so he came to see his mentor and asked his mentor to solve his doubts."

Li Guorao said with interest: "Rye? This rye is a treasure that benefits the country and the people. If you present it today, it will be a great joy. What are the worries about it?"

Liu Chen looked at Li Guo deeply and said, "But... Zhang Jingyi was clearly not harmonious with his mentor. Now Zhang Jingyi made such a great contribution. He, the prince of Liaodong, not only won the favor of His Majesty, but also Liaodong... will be Jiangnan outside the border in the future. Isn't this Zhang family... happy?"

Li Guo took a teacup and sipped the tea, smiled and said, "I don't agree with these words. I am a Grand Secretary of the Cabinet. Personal honor and disgrace are nothing, but I should look at the world. If the people in the world can get the benefits of this rye, what's wrong?"

After hearing this, Liu Chen's face turned slightly red, and he didn't know how to answer for a moment.

But Li Guo was already in a clear mind.

He knew very well... Whenever someone at his level saw a clue, someone would come to him, hoping to share his worries.

Some people saw that they were not in harmony with Zhang Jingyi and those who were willing to be a pawn for him would come to him on their own initiative.

This is actually nothing. After all, people like Liu Chen who are determined to rise to the top like this like the most are to do a team. If they can’t make a gun in other people’s hands, they will create conditions and have to make this gun.

The reason is very simple. Only by helping someone like Li Guo bit people can you have a backer and have a chance to soar into the sky in the future.

Seeing that Liu Chen was a little disappointed, Li Guo was quite interested in this person and said, "I know you are worried about me, and I am afraid that Zhang Jingyi, the traitor, will kill me. But... I will tell you the truth. If there is no rye, it would be fine. Now that there is rye, Zhang Jingyi... will die."

"Ah..." After hearing this, Liu Chen was shocked: "What's the reason?"

Li Guo said lightly: "First: Liaodong is not a bitter and cold place. Even if Your Majesty can tolerate the Zhang family guarding, can you feel at ease? Even if you are relieved today, what about the next day? Without rye, Zhang Jingyi will be the Mu family in Yunnan. With rye, Zhang Jing will be Cao Cao and Dong Zhuo sooner or later."

Liu Chen hesitated and said, "But, I see Your Majesty and Zhang..."

Li Guo shook his head: "The reason for death is that in addition to this, there is a second point. Once the rye is promoted, the Zhang family occupied Liaodong, how much land is controlled by the control of the land? This is tens of millions and billions of acres, even more than these! There are many people in the pass, and there are few land in the world. In order to get a piece of land, which one of them is not scorching and thinking about it day and night? Now that the fat meat is in front of you, who is willing to let the Zhang family get it? Zhang Jingyi, unless he invites the gentry from the world to his Liaodong, everyone will get a share of the pie. Otherwise, so many people will be jealous and eyeing them."

"One day in Liaodong, everyone will be jealous of it. It is even more impossible to find a piece of land from Liaodong. If this continues, will these people be willing to rest? A gentry and a minister are nothing, but there are thousands of them? Although this elephant is terror, but... millions of ants can also kill the elephant."

After hearing this, Liu Chen suddenly realized: "My teacher is very insightful."

"It's not a high opinion." Li Guo smiled and said, "In fact, it's just a matter of enjoying the whole person than having fun. If the Zhang family is smarter, it would be easier to do. But Zhang Jingyi is the most greedy and forgets his righteousness when he sees profit. How can he get a share of the pie with others? So, I'm not worried..."

After hearing this, Liu Chen immediately said, "How could Zhang Jingyi be so indifferent to fame and fortune as his mentor? If he was 10% of his mentor, why would he be so infamous and scolded today?"
